Domestic Vixen

You know I keep replaying yesterday in my mind. The first thing I went to do today is buy locks to change on the security door and a bolt lock to out higher on the door. I keep thinking that if I had one of those ADT security systems Bam-Bam would have never walked out.

As soon as the hubby gets home I am going to have him help me change the locks on the doors. I also bought both the boys id bracelets. When the twins get a little bit older I am going to buy them some bracelets too. I cant help but keep thinking what would have happen if we lived in a busy street where cars drove constantly. Or what would have happend if no one saw him walking around. Luckily he didnt walk far but that is still scary.

You cant take your eyes off any kids not even for a few minutes. I need one of those sensors on the doors and windows too. You know the ones that beep and let someone know when a door or window has been opened. Everyone keeps thinking I am going overborad but I dont feel I am. My four year old is a very smart kid and he is constantly getting into things so I think that taking the proper precautions is not going overboard.

I think that any mother would have reacted the same way I did. I could hardly sleep last night and I kept checking all the doors and making sure all the doors were closed and locked good. I am really thinking into buying a security system after this incident.

I feel emotionally distraught right now. Last night well more like last evening my four year old went and inlocked the door and walked outside and down the street. Thankfully the neighbor saw him and brought him back. I cannot believe he figured out how to open the door. We even have a security door and he opened that door too.

I am so glad we live in a cul-de-sac because if we didnt I dont even want to think of the consequences. My four year old is too smart for his own good. I am going to have to look into better locks than the ones I have on my door right now.

I run nonstop during the week gettting the kids to school and trying and I do mean trying to tidy up the house. Its hard keeping the house clean when I have six kids running around ( I should say 4 running and 2 crawling around) the house and leaving toys and books and shoes and clothes all over the place. I often think that if I had laminate flooring the floor wouldnt look so bad. I often say if the walls had nicer paint on them then the kids finger marks wouldnt show up on the wall so much. When I get the chance I plan on painting those walls and if I can change the floors and do a complete makeover.

I need to get the kids in a routine of picking up their toys. They must think that since I am the mom that I have to pick up after them too. They are getting to an age where they can pick up after themselves. I dont think that having them start picking up after themselves is too much to ask. How old were your kids when they started picking up after themselves ?

Everyday there is a new problem here at the house. I getting sick and tired of having cable t.v. I am seriously very close to canceling my cable and having the hubby go watch his games at some bar or restaurant that offers DirectTV. All his sports games are featured on Directtv and I wont have to deal with incompetent cable service.

I get so upset because it seems like every other day I am calling the cable service to either reset the cable box or come out and fix the digital converter box. All in all it would be easier for the hubby to go out to a business establishment that offers Direct tv or we can always order it but I think his sports channels are extra when it is home based instead of a business.

The hubby already has it in his head that when he opens his own business he is going to get sattelite cable in his lounge. He said he is going to carry all the sports channels and that everyone will want to come to his establishment. While I support him in everything he does I think he is going to the extreme planning already what channels he wants and having a lineup of different features he wants on his t.vs

I really wish I didnt have to deal with the cable company anymore. I hope we dont have that much longer on our contract. As soon as my contract is done I am saying bye bye to the worst cable service ever. I used to love cable before I moved to a different county. I have had nothing but problems after problems. If any of you are wondering wether you should pick satellite or cable always go for satellite television you wont regret it.

Like I wrote before my hubby has been looking extensively into getting his own business. I never knew how much research goes into getting your own business started. The hubby has been looking into franchise lead generation blogs and seeing the results companies are offering. If you ask me I feel like Charlie Brown and when he tries to explain to me what he is doing all I hear is blah, blah, blah, I dont understand any of it.

Hubby tells me that in order to have a sucessfull business you have to research everything. I am glad he is so passionate about it. Like I said before he still has some years to go before he gets his business started but I am glad he is taking the inititive to start researching everything he needs to know. My hubby has his mind made up about his business and he is doing all the right things and looking into what he needs.

My hubby has been wanting to open up his own business since we were kids. He has studied business administration and has been looking into what it takes to start and run a business. He has also given thought to franchising and has looked at franchise sales. I think franchising is a good thing but hubby seems to be on the fence about it.

I personally think you have to have alot of money saved up before you start your own business and we are not at that point in our life yet. It’s good that he wants to make plans and I will support him no matter what. I just want to be more financially stable.

I really love the fact that my hubby wants to better himself and has alot of goals and dreams to fulfill.

We were supposed to be going to Disneyland this weekend although It looks highly unlikely though. I personally wanted to take one of those Orlando vacations but with our budget I could forget it. I think it will be a long time before I travel anywhere fancy. If we have to fly anywhere I better hope they have some kind of family special because its going to be very expensive.

I guess I should be satisfied going to places where we can drive to. Maybe just maybe I can save up and go on my honeymoon that I never had with the hubby and that way I will be able to afford it. I would feel guilty though going somewhere fun and not having my kids with me.

I hope we can go next week to Disneyland and have the kids unwind and have fun and say goodby to their summer vacation.

Ok so I have been having panic attacks and I have been wondering what has been making me feel so anxious? Well I think its due to me feeling so stressed out about not being able to find a place for my sis-inlaw and from getting the kids school ready. I feel like I dont have enough time in the day to get to everything I need to do.

I really should consider going to one of those cafe places to do online work or house searching because I am constantly distracted by everything that is going around me. I wish I could just snap my fingers and all the things I want to get accomplished got done.

I need to hop in the shower and try to cool off because its around 11 am and its already 102 degrees outside and I feel like I am melting.

I hope we dont have another earthquake. When the weather changes drastically like it has this past week we tend to get earthquakes. I am one of those people that panic everytime we have an earthquake. I dont know how many times I have asked my hubby if the steel buildings in his office are make to withstand earthquakes. He reassures me that his building is safe and the buildings next to his are safe but I still panic everytime the weather changes. Since we moved out here I have noticed that when the weather has changed we have an earthquake and I am not taking about little itsy bitsy earthquakes I am talking 4.0 and above earthquakes.

I guess I should be glad we are not having floods or anything like that. Maybe I am freaking out because I feel stressed out. I dont know why I am feeling panicky. I just hope that my theories are proven wrong and we dont have a house shakeer anytime soon.

This has been a record heat for us. Its been over 100 degrees this week alone. I have cranked up the AC and I hate to see what the electric bill is going to look like. I really hope that this heat goes away because its going to be aweful for the kids next week when they start school.

I have one more kid to buy school clothes for and I am done shopping for school stuff. I cant believe how many school supplies I had to get these kids. They gave me a huge list of school supplies to get for them and each one of their lists was different.

I only have three going to school right now. Imagine what its going to be like when all six go to school!! I am happy that they will be back in school though. They have been bored here at home and they cant wait to hang out with there friends.
